A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against the resolution.

The Board notes the support from shareholders for the special resolutions 2 and 3 in support of the Scheme but acknowledges the votes against the ordinary resolution 1 (Directors Remuneration Policy). In compliance with the AIC Code, the Board would normally engage with shareholders to better understand their concerns with a view to identifying how such concerns can be addressed and provide an update on the results of this engagement and actions taken in due course. Given the Company is in the process of winding up by of the Scheme, the Board will not be performing such an engagement with shareholders.

As per the previously announced timetable for the Scheme, the Shares were disabled for settlement in CREST at 6 pm on 4 March 2025 and trading in the Shares will be suspended at 7.30 a.m. on 10 March 2025.
